Trash will be collected between 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. on the day of pickup. Trash should be out by 6 a.m. the day of pickup, but not before 4 p.m. the day prior. Empty cans should be removed from the curb by 9 a.m. the day following pickup.

Waste Management holidays are: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July Fourth, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. If the holiday falls after your pickup day, follow the regular schedule. If the holiday falls on or before your pickup day, waste pickup will be one day late. If the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the pickup schedule does not change.

Free curb pickup is available for large household appliances including refrigerators, freezers, clothes washers and dryers, water heaters, trash compactors, dishwashers, microwave ovens, ranges, stoves, woodstoves, and air conditioners that do not exceed 3 cubic yards total volume; as well as motor vehicle or trailer tires. Please call Meridian Waste Services at 800-964-8988 to schedule a collection.

All household furnishings such as mattresses, sofas, chairs, and other household items that do not exceed three cubic yards will be collected free at the curb without prior scheduling along with the regular refuse collection.

The City does not provide curbside leaf vacuuming services due to the cost of the equipment, the lack of available space to compost leaves, and the need for additional staff to perform the composting operation. Some municipalities dedicate much or all of their public works staff to leaf collection for months and our staff has many other responsibilities.
